CHRONIC LYME DISEASE: The Great Imitator

This tick-borne illness has been dubbed “The Great Imitator” because symptoms resemble other conditions like chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, ALS, MS, fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorders. On top of that, many people do not remember getting a tick bite and only about 50% experience the hallmark bullseye rash. This means that for many, chronic Lyme can go undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed for years, only to find out later that Lyme was the cause of their health issue.
